2/3rds of Florida Sheriff’s Back Adam Putnam for Governor

Building on his already impressive support from Florida law enforcement, Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam, Republican candidate for governor, today rolled out the endorsements of 45 county sheriffs.

“I am honored and profoundly humbled to have the support of 45 sheriffs across the state of Florida. To lead Florida, to secure Florida, to keep Florida safe, you must put law enforcement first,” Adam Putnam said. “Everyday our law enforcement and first responders are putting themselves in harm’s way to keep our citizens and communities safe. As Governor, I will fight for our law enforcement officers and ensure they have the resources necessary to respond to the major safety and security issues facing our state.”

Receiving the backing of more than 2/3rds of all Florida sheriffs adds to Putnam’s support from law enforcement and first responders across the state. Putnam has been endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), Police Benevolent Association (PBA) and the Florida Professional Firefighters.
